Endometriosis: An Emotional Roller Coaster

These days, you hear so many people saying they've been on a journey. Or an emotional roller coaster. The term somewhat loses its meaning. Yet when it comes endometriosis, there really is no other explanation. From one day to the next, you don't know what's around the corner. Last week I was at such a low point. I felt that all my strength had gone. I felt weak and extremely down. I even blogged about losing my faith. 

It is important to remember that tough times never last... but tough people do! A few days later, I am feeling re-energised. I'm not jumping for joy or bouncing off the walls. But I'm content. And that's a massive difference to how I felt last week. 

When these bad days pop up, they can really hit you hard. As much as you try to look for a way through the pain and darkness, it doesn't always present itself. I'm ok today but don't know what tomorrow will bring for me. I wanted to post this update so that anyone who is in a similar situation can look forward to better days. They will come. I promise. A roller coaster has highs and lows and lots of loops. But it always comes to an end. If things are not ok for you at the moment. It's not the end. Hang in there.

Endometriosis: Post op

Ok, so I thought I should update you all after my operation on Tuesday.  I have a lot of mixed emotions after the laparoscopy though and I promise to fill you all in soon. I'm sure many of you have felt the same way I'm feeling now so I will post in the near future about all the details. Sharing information is the best way to know we're not alone in this. But for the moment, I'm just getting my head around things and concentrating on recovery. UPDATED: Endometriosis was found in my ovaries as expected and removed. It was also found on my bowel, but it was left untreated. #MyEndoDiary ♡

A Day In The Life Of An Endo Girl - 16/04/13

Seeing as I've named my Blog 'My Endo Diary' I've decided to start this project, 'A Day In The Life Of An Endo Girl' to portray just a snippet of a day with Endometriosis. Women with Endo are not lazy. Some, such as myself suffer daily pain. Chronic pain. Sometimes mild, sometimes exhausting, sometimes severe. Small things hurt massively. What some people take for granted doing, can take all of my energy. Even down to doing the dishes or making food. Endo is unpredictable. Tomorrow may be a better day. It may be worse. If I look or sound OK one day it doesn't mean I'm better. I'm either hiding the pain from you (I've become quite good at this), having an 'up and down day' (explained below) or on the rare chance having a good day. Every day with Endo for me, is different. However at the moment, they all contain some sort of pain. So here's my first entry. 16/04/13                   5:45am Woken up by E...

Endometriosis And New Beginnings

I know I won't be alone in these thoughts on this subject.. Endometriosis and a new relationship..  What do you tell them? How much do you tell them? When do you bring it up?  A million questions have been overloading my mind lately as I start a new chapter in my life. The last few weeks have been a bit of a whirlwind for me. A good one! But, fast moving, exciting and terrifying all at once. The scariest part of it all is how endometriosis will impact everything. Right now, it is behaving. But we all know how quickly that changes. I don't want my life revolving around Endo. It has taken over way too much of it already! Now, I have started enjoying my life again, I'm terrified it will be snatched away to pain once again. I have shared The Spoon Theory with my new boyfriend, who was extremely understanding about it. Which actually made me feel so much at ease. I have explained a few of the symptoms. He knows I get 'bad days' and that i'll need rest ...
